Soroptimist International of Abbotsford-Mission hosts a conference on Friday, Feb. 19.
The event, being held on a school district professional development day, runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the VanCity community room in Mission.
The conference, titled Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls, is open to high school-aged girls, who will learn about career opportunities, setting and achieving goals, and overcoming obstacles to success.
Topics covered at the event include: discovering your dreams, exploring careers, rising above obstacles, turning failure into success, and balancing your stress.
Participants will also have the opportunity to speak with working women and perhaps arrange a mentorship with a woman whose career interests them.
